In these cases, the learning style is defined as“balanced-processing” (balanced between reflective observation and active experimentation) or“balanced-perception” (balanced between abstract conceptualization and concrete experience).According to early reports by Kolb, young children show an even balance of all learning styles,but move towards more abstract thinking as they grow older [14]. A recent study found that one-third of adults were converging, another third were assimilating, 20% were accommodating, andless than 10% were divergent [25].Beckman and Barry [4] have found Kolb

device alone. Manufacturers usually provide libraries, header files, etc. that make interfacing to the specific hardware easier. However, it is becoming more common that these well- known languages are being modified or refined to contain commands or structures that are better suited with the hardware. Often times these modifications include commands whose name reflect the desired hardware-based outcome. For example, the command “analogRead(2)” reads the analog voltage at pin 2 on a certain embedded system. This is a built-in function which is pre-installed with the IDE for this device. Systems with built-in commands that intuitively describe the intended result generally allow the user to focus less on software challenges

Participants in this study demonstrated some ofthe same reluctance to talk about these gender biases seen in the work of earlier scholars such asTonso1 and Dryburgh4. At the same time, the women who participated in these interviews allenacted multiple strategies for negotiating those biases, some of which reflect shifts from

Various obstacles can prevent students from being able to participate in the informalprogram; reasons not to participate can range from logistical, time, or financial burdens. Theseparticular reasons do reflect a lack of interest in the activity; students may have the desire to join,but for one reason or another, they are unable to stay after school and participate. By integratingthe informal activity with the formal classroom environment, these otherwise unreached studentscan benefit from the program. Not only are these students able to participate in the activity, butbecause the time restraint is not as demanding, the students may be able to compete in theculminating event of the informal program since that
